iPod Nano Movies

[rbaroncpd]

Hi,

I am looking for an easy way to rip a DVD and then compress it so it can be copied to an iPod Nano?

Can anyone help with the steps to do something like that?

I have all the tools, DVDRipper, Handbreak, but I don't know how to use the effectively to accomplish the task of ripping and getting it to the iPod Nano.

When I rip it I am presented with an AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS. I don't know what to do after that.

Thanks

Here's what I do:

If it is a commercial DVD,

1. I rip the DVD first with Mac The Ripper, as it handles all
current copyguards and is updated reguarly.

2. Then, with the ripped DVD on my HD, I launch Visual Hub, select
the Video_TS folder, drag and drop it into the open window.
I then select the "iPod" tab, then select "Optomize for iPod Nano"
and click start.

3. When it's done, I manually add it to iTunes (I like to keep and organize
my own playlists, different from Apple's default "Movies")
and sync it to my iPod.

If it is a homemade DVD ( non-commercial),
then I just finder copy the disc to my Mac's HD,
and then follow steps 2 and 3 above.

I don't use handbrake because to me, Visual Hub works better in
my "workflow", but here is a guide for Handbrake on
getting movies to ipod.
